4 Important Reasons To List Your Boat With North South Yacht Sales!

We often get asked that question: Why should we list our boat with you?. Boat sellers want to know what exactly separates our yacht brokerage from others. It’s pretty simple really. It’s the North South Group Advantage.

1. WE ARE THE PROFESSIONALS 

All of our yacht brokers have achieved certification through the Certified Professional Yacht Brokers, or the Boating Ontario Certified Professional programs. In fact, North South Yacht Sales was the FIRST yacht brokerage firm in CANADA to achieve the esteemed status of an Endorsed Brokerage by the CPYB program.

Working with a yacht broker that holds the CPYB designation ensures that all transactions will be completed in accordance with the Industry Association’s standards and code of ethics.

• Experience counts: Our brokers have accumulated years of experience in the used boat market in particular North America and the Caribbean. This wealth of experience is important when faced with unusual or tricky situations.
• Reputation matters: The majority of our business are repeat clients and referrals, which speaks volumes.  We are always pleased to provide references.
• Networking: All of our brokers have an extensive brokerage network in strategic locations in Canada, the US and the Caribbean, which enables to find the exact boat you are looking for.

And experience • networking • reputation make THE difference during extraordinary years as such as 2020. Ever ready to service our clients we adopted virtual showings and facilitated cross-border purchases when the borders were closed.

2. WE WILL PROVIDE A PROFESSIONAL MARKET VALUATION:

We can help you establish a fair asking price for your boat through our extensive database, along with access to industry ‘sold boat’ data not available to private party sellers. Getting the price right is critical to every sale. Priced too high and your vessel will sit on the market too long. Priced too low, and you will lose money on your investment.

3. WE WILL MARKET YOUR BOAT:

Now more than ever, it is important to strategically advertise listings on the internet. Once your vessel is listed with us, it will instantly appear on the NSNG website and several key industry used boat classified websites.

For more than 15 years, we have promoted our boat listings through our NSNG monthly e-newsletter, which supports an extensive and targeted mailing list.

Yes, we are on social media platforms, and we optimize our presence by promoting both vessels and our own services. Buyers also want to know that they are dealing with a professional company.

While digital marketing continues to be an important marketing avenue, print advertising remains an important factor in boat sales. Thousands of boat buyers continue to browse boating magazines looking for the ‘boat of their dreams’. NSNG strategically advertises in Canadian and US boating publications that also provide digital editions.

There is nothing like meeting prospective boat buyers face-to-face. Our brokers attend boat shows – this year virtual ones – where we are able to introduce a variety of boats to numerous buyers.

4. WE WILL ENSURE YOU PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD: 

Our professional advice begins with a personal inspection of your boat. In addition, we may also suggest a marine survey to recommend cost-effective improvements to ensure optimal presentation. That’s our way of helping you sell your boat as quickly as possible and for the best price.

At North South Yacht Sales we strive to be one of the best and most professional yacht brokerages in the industry.

We want to get your boat sold quickly so we can help you find your next one!
